Germination Issues

[TrevorGG]

ok so i bought 2 seeds from SEEDBANK about a month ago and the germination method i used was the shot glass leave it in the water till it sinks and plant in the soil worked perfect no problems got more seeds from a different SEEDBANK. there two weeks ago used same method but not a budge from the seeds lifted up the soil after a few days and seed still in perfect condition no tap root no root rot nothing seed looked just as it looked when i got it . the seedbank is sending me more seeds but im thinking i should use a different method or where the seeds just bad ?

i haven't gave seed banks names because ppl prob's thinking i'm advertising for the seedbank seeds that worked for me

i use the same method, but i wait until i see the seed crack before putting in soil
some seeds can sprout very stubbornly, you might try to gently nick the tip of the seed

the weird thing is i put the one of the seeds back into water and it floated another few hours before sinking thats weird just planted it again hopefully i get something i used lukewarm water this time

i haven't tried putting a seed in soil back into water, but that doesn't sound right
seed may not sufficiently moist long enough

its the only thing i could think of seemings nothing was happening .
with it in the soil anyway so id rather try this and wait another few days before i chuck it

just keep it in there. trusts me ive put seeds in the shot glass then they sink and put them into soil and they have taken about a week to even crack. just be patient and keep them moist

Trevor download the Germination chapter from Weed Science, there's a pictorial for a procedure that will give you near 100% germination.

work that seed for all it's worth, i have worked seeds just as stubborn and managed to get them to sprout
this strain(s) may have that extra thick waxy seed hull, some will actually pop seeds between thumb and forefinger(never tried it myself)

i tried to pop my seed with my thumb and index finder but it was like a rock lol and i dont even know what strain the seed is lol but im just going to leave in the soil now and hope for the best and hobbes i was just only reading that last night thats weird ...
